Just a quick followup to the last post. In today’s New York Times, Allan Kozinn reviews the Sony Classical recording of the opera Ça Ira, by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters. Reference is also made to “crossover” projects by Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney and others.
It sounds like Mr. Waters’ piece would sit better with us longhairs if it were referred to as a “musical” instead of an “opera”. But, that’s a whole other debate, isn’t it.
